Well done Shush for getting your butt to the gym - like I said, you are bound to feel a bit self conscious and out of place at first, but stick with it and you'll soon feel like part of the furniture.
I am veggie too - glad I'm not the only fat vegetarian around!
Love Amanda x

I don't even like saying out loud I'm vegetarian because you just know what people are thinking!

I think the gym is very expensive, mine is £43 but I have a student rate of £26 - I think I would still go though even if I paid full price. I go three times a week when I am being good and I really love switching on my Ipod Shuffle and blocking out the rest of the world. It is my "me" time.

The morning after (the gym) day 2
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!
Worse today
MY arms and shoulders 
On the plus side, i did read somewhere that i should be used to it after about 3 WEEKS !!! 
oh and i can't lift my arms to feed myself so that should keep the calories down
What's that saying about life, lemons and lemonade - yeah right

Pain is good Shush - just think of all those muscles that are working now! They say the second day is the worst, so hopefully things will start to get better tomorrow!
I remember when I first joined - even though I had been swimming and walking and going on my exercise bike at home for 6 months, it was obviously nothing compared to a gym workout! Even now, I am aching again because I've had a new programme and am working different muscles.
It's all good though (as long as it's just muscle aches and stiffness!) - this is the worst it gets, you'll never feel as bad as you do today again!
Love Amanda x

Thanks Ladies
For your words of encouragement and concern
"Just think, that soreness is building muscle! You toned thing you!" 
My other half said I was walking around like one of the Thunderbird puppets but not quite so animated. 
I think i'm over the worst bit now as long as i don't have to do anything too strenuos like walking upright or brushing my hair etc. I'll be fine

After Mondays leg weights I need a crane to use the toilet! I find I just can't bend that way without screaming for at least 2 days!
You will get used to it - after all, it's "good" pain!

Pain is good The other week I woke up and couldn't move my abs or legs for days. I just kept imagining those toned stomach muscles hiding somewhere under the flab.

Hope you feel better soon Shush. It does sound a bit worrying not being able to make a fist though!
